So basically when an wireless network card is looking for its router the pineapple recognize that and invites the wireless card to connect to pineapple instead of the original router/AP. so when i interrupt the connection between the target and router it increases the chance for the target to connect to me? if thats the case it must be genius to use at high populated places or at shopping centres as there always will come someone unconnected and then we connected to me as i may be the one saying to the Wireless cards that i am your router at home. then what about the functions. when a client connects to me will the pineapple automatically start sniffing on the target or do i need to target the client like i do in cain forexample. and what about the functions i asked for above? are they built in to the router and will the functions affect the target the soon as they connect? and thanks alot for you answer :D learning something new is always great :) seems like people on the forum have great knowledge about networking and the pineapple itself, so thats making me more interested in getting my hands on one! :D

Ok, thanks for the answer :) but just a few questions about the original pineapple then :) as i've understood the pineapple which got jasager and such will make wireless laptops, phones etc to automatically connect to the pineapple? like it will "steal" the already connected computers over to itself? and on the pineapple i get features like sniffing with ettercap and arpspoof etc? and hamster&ferret + SSLstrip and such? and just one last thing. i can see that i can connect it to 3g/4g or connect it up to an android phone/tab but does it work on iphone or receiving internett from a normal router connected to WAN? think i will invest in one of these but just need some confirmation that i got the right information about its features. -random123

Hello, Just been reading up on the pineapple and its system and read that it were possible to flash routers like the wrt160nl with pineapple firmware. while having the standard cisco firmware it seemed to reject the .bin firmware that pineapple have. so i installed open-wrt as i read it should be easier to get it installed. now that i have open-wrt installed it only accept .trx firmware and not .bin Any idea on how to get it installed? kinda unfamiliar with open-wrt and routers with another OS than original. but learning something new everyday :D
